    Okay, yes, you have a basis here for a character who has a lot of potential for growth and change. There are a few things that stand out here to make Olivia more than a stock character. First, she's got a dead sibilng. Dead sibilings always trump living ones, so it could be that she's been carrying the weight of that for some time. Where is her mom with her grief? How did this impact her childhood? Is there any way that you might connect the dead sister to other parts of her personality, such as her desire to save lions in Africa? Could it be that she feels somewhat responsible either for the loss of her sister or the fact that she hasn't been able to make up for it to her mom? How aware is she of her own vulnerability? Characters who know themselves well and are self-reflective already require greater impetus for change. Characers who are still figuring out who they are have the most potential for change--so think about where she is in her own self-awareness, and how you might use the podcast scene as a place where she could experience change or greater understanding about something.

Danielle Brazer 1 SHOT: Text: Danny Preslar: brother’s best friend, black hair, ice blue eyes, handsome, the first boy I was in love with. I remember purposely leaving my door open when him and my brother would hangout in the room next to mine so he could say hi if he passed by it. I remember wearing revealing clothes when he came over to see if he would look at me. Dan took my virginity that summer, he never knew how much I liked him. He broke my heart in two when he left for college and forgot all about me. I stayed sad for a long time. I loved him, I felt like I would do anything for him, that I could touch his skin and his only for eternity. I was sure that I would want him forever. I was 15 though.

My parents were once complete strangers. They had no idea the rest of their lives from senior year of high school on when they met, their lives would forever change. Now, this sounds very corny, but its one hundred percent true to their story together. My parents have been married together now for 30 years. Its not valid to say that all these years its been smooth sailing because it has not been nearly that. They disagree on a multitude of things but at the same time find themselves agreeing as well. Whats interesting to say is that not one of their arguments have broken them apart. Usually when they disagree, being a third party outside, peering in, they both usually hold very strong arguments I honestly never know which side to take. They don't ask me to take sides, rather they want me knowing nothing of their arguments usually unless the argument pertains to everyone in the immediate family meaning me and my brother and them. I wonder how my family has managed to stick togethe...
